Thriller Opening: Props
1. Christian Cross Necklace:
This prop is the Christian cross necklace and symbolises Christianity and to ward off evil.
This will be used in the opening by the protagonist as he will be warding off evil and shows a sign of peace.
This prop would be in a typical thriller film to show the difference between good and evil and adds religion to the thrillers and their beliefs such as God and the Devil.
The meanings this will create purity and innocence as it relates to Jesus who was pure of heart and died on the cross.
This prop gives ideas about the character due to the representation of the Christian cross and how the audience know the antagonists beliefs.
2. Food/English breakfast:
These props consist of different foods that are typically in an English breakfast.
These will be used for graphic matches of people being murdered. For example the egg can be cut into slowly and the yolk will seep out slowly like blood seeping out of a cut wound.
This is typical in a thriller as it disguises who the antagonist is by linking everyday events to them to mask their real identity.
The meanings created from this prop are that it links to the killings the antagonist causes such as the eggs connoting a pair of eyes from the protagonist. We will us graphic matches to suggest that a murder is going to happen.
The representation ideas link to the setting of the protagonist in an innocent and normal everyday place. In the home where it is safe and he is doing normal things. He is your everyday working class man and that makes it scary when he starts to see the devil.
